Commercial Real Estate Revolution

Like I mentioned in the last blog I was tipped off to read a book called "The Commercial Real Estate Revolution by Rex Miller.  It is truly an excellent book.  It discusses "nine transforming keys to lowering cost, cutting waste and driving change in a broken industry."  The book hits the nail right on the head.  If only construction would follow its model. 

Let me give you the 9 keys and hopefully you are intrigued enough to read the book yourself.

  1. Trust-Based Team Formation
  2. Early Collaboration
  3. Built-In Sustainability
  4. Transformational Leadership
  5. "Big" BIM
  6. Integrating Project Delivery
  7. Trust-Based Agreements and Client-Centered Incentives
  8. Offsite Construction
  9. Workplace Productivity
As you can tell I love this book.
